Only if they can find it unconstitutional. Plus, I think the only way they can undo anything is to make sure funding isn't available for it, but I believe there is enough legal speak in the bill to confuse anyone for years to come.

As I understand it, WHEN Republicans take over the majority of the House and Senate, while Obama is in office, Obama can continue to veto whatever the Republicans put forth. HOWEVER, I believe after Obama is gone, Republicans (who will likely stay in control of the majority), can "pick apart" parts of the bill to where it doesn't impact as many people as it currently stands to affect.

We can only hope that when seniors start feeling the wrath of Medicare cuts next year, they'll start screaming--since we know they NEVER miss the opportunity to vote! :o)

Yes. If it ever becomes law, there can be a motion to repeal the law. It happens all the time. It isn't an amendment. It takes an enormous effort to repeal an amendment to the Constitution. This piece of crap passing the house isn't a law yet. It has to go to the Senate and pass all the committees and debates there and then it has to be signed by the president. This is just one of many steps. We aren't bound to it yet. They made it sound like it had become law. It just got out of the House to be sent to the Senate. Keep up the pressure and insist the bill be killed.

Why would they want to get rid of it? 61% of the American people want a public option for health care. I personally think they should have made the insurance companies not for profits which would have gotten the same results and no public money would have been spent. The big difference? Some CEO wouldn't be paid millions to deny your claim.
